ORA® Captive-Bred Chalk Bass Information This is one of the fish species in aquariums that is frequently ignored by aquarists, even though it can be a valuable addition to hobbyists. The positive aspect is that this fish is very well behaved and is a fantastic addition to any home aquarium.
The fish is found in its home in the Western Atlantic as well as the Caribbean and prefers spending the majority of its time at the sea's bottom close to the reefs. The Chalk Bass is discovered at depths of up to 400 meters, but is typically found at only the depth of 90 meters. It's also known by the name of Serranus tortugarum.
It is a tranquil aquarium fish that gets together with more peaceful tank mates, thus making it a nice fish to share with others in the community. Sometimes, however, when the fish has grown too large, it will consume smaller invertebrates such as the Bamboo shrimp, but will only do it in the absence of any other readily available food source.

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
